This is difficult to test (and a reason I don't believe it is DNS), 
as when it is working it is working, but it just quits working and 
hangs; I can't load any pages or access Safari at all, except Force 
Quit.  If it were a DNS problem, I would think that it would fail all 
the time, until the DNS was addressed.

Here is a recap of what did and did not work for me, which may help 
those with future problems:

resetting safari did not work;

emptying cache did not work;

As suggested on this list, repairing permissions and ditching prefs 
did not work;

Preparing for the third suggestion -- reinstall -- I discovered a 
folder called safari in the User/Library/Cache folder; ditching that 
made all well again, without needing to reinstall the app.

Obviously I am visiting a site that doesn't play well with safari; if 
this recurs I will ditch Cache first, to confirm that is the issue, 
and hopefully discover what site is causing this.
